Delicious Sunday roast, loved the way it was served and the theatre behind it. Staff were attentive despite it being busy. Would be great if there were more non alcoholic options for drinks. Also there was a trolley of dirty plates etc rolled through the restaurant from another area which slightly disrupted the nice ambience.

Food was good especially steak night but thought t bone surcharge was high compared to ribeye or sirloin but overall good. We were near the bar and the bar and area seemed very cluttered with lots of none essential items and made the place look messy and disorganised. For a £200 dinner for 5 of us maybe a complimentary lemon cella/baileys would be appropriate. Thanks Roy

Seats are comfy and the atmosphere is relaxing. It’s an ideal place for friends gathering. Foods are served frequently but for us they are a bit too salty. Only grilled meat are served I would suggest restaurant to add some grilled fruit and vegetables (e.g. pineapple, mushroom, Zucchini) to make the meal perfect! Overall is a nice restaurant and recommend anyone to try.

I couldn't recommend this place enough, don't miss out on the cocktails at the Side Hustle bar.

We came here for the Sunday platter as it was always a favourite and unfortunately it’s changed (and reduced in size, it used to be three meats); so there was no pork or red cabbage which was now an extra at an additional cost. You’d be better to order the individual roasts and choose your extras. The food however was really really nice, and the service was amazing! The restaurant itself is beautiful.
